About Eneryield

A decade of research. One mission — grids that don't fail.

We are AI and power-systems researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, building the predictive layer for the world's electric grids.

Our story

A research company that ships product

Eneryield began where our founders met in 2017 — in the PhD corridors of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, where Ebrahim Balouji was applying deep learning to power systems and Karl Bäckström was researching machine-learning algorithms. The insight: most grid faults announce themselves in the waveforms long before they strike — if you have the models to hear them.

Founded in 2019 as a Chalmers spin-out, Eneryield turned that research — physics-informed, peer-reviewed, patented — into IntelliView®, and has been in continuous customer operation since October 2020, when the first deployment went live with ABB at Vaasan Sähköverkko in Finland. The New York Power Authority followed in 2021, on transmission assets.

In 2024, ABB joined as a strategic investor through its Electrification Distribution Solutions division. Today IntelliView® runs in service with utilities and industry — more than twenty deployments, pilots and projects across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia, delivered directly and with partners ABB and EcoPhi.

The team

PhDs in AI and power systems, builders at heart

A team of machine-learning engineers and power-systems specialists from Chalmers and beyond — small enough to move fast, deep enough to publish.
